1 out of 5 stars Nicole Richie is trash   September 17, 2007
 3 out of 9 found this review helpful

This is not a book, It's a joke. The confessions of a woman who thinks trash, talks trash, has a trash lifestyle, and is human trash. she should work for the sanitation department.


5 out of 5 stars Great summer reading   June 27, 2007

Personally, I like Nicole Richie, and when I heard she had a book out, I was interested to read what she had to say. Because she is famous for reasons other than her writing skills, I feel people are giving her reviews harsher than are deserved.

All the right ingredients are used to make it a great chick lit book. It's hip, up-to-date on all things social, and gives a true insight to her life. I thought the idea of using herself as the narrator and a fictional best friend as the main character was unique and intriguing, and her writing passionate. The dark, twisted sarcasm and humor that has been infamously attached with Nicole shines in this novel, and I for one can say that I truly enjoyed it.

The best thing I can say to people who hated the book, or sneer at Nicole Richie for attempting something other than a new drug, is that they should go read Hemmingway if they're actually expecting literary genius. :)



1 out of 5 stars What a waste!   May 21, 2007

Well first of all,
For those who actually think Nicole Richie wrote this book, wake up. Sure, she did pay a lot of money to have some one else write it for her and I am sure that she didn't even read the whole thing. Its actually quite funny how some of you think that she actually wrote this..... big mistake for me and a whole lot of wasted time, well not a whole lot, I only read 2 pages, what a waste.



5 out of 5 stars I liked this a lot, actually...   May 5, 2007

I would first like to mention that I've never read any tabloids other than the headlines, and I've never had much of an interest in the lives of celebrities.

So why did I read this book?

Well, I had read an article about novels that celebrities had written, and out of the five featured in the article, this one got the best reviews, and the way they described it got my interest.

Hopefully anyone who reads this is not expecting this to be a "great" literary work, because it is not of that form at all, but Nicole does manage to capture and engage you the way reading a diary would as you really get a sense for what the main character feels.

In a way, this book reminds me of The Princess Diaries series, so if you are a fan of Meg Cabot, you might like this book. The humour and the pop culture references only emphasize this.

I give this book five stars because I enjoyed it and it's a book that I can see myself reading several times throughout my life.




3 out of 5 stars Easy Read   February 19, 2007

This was an interesting, fun, and enjoyable read.
It should be something you bring to the beach or when you're able to sit down for a few minutes. I didn't usually want to put the book down, but when i did, it was easy to come back to.
